MEN OF MANY MASKS.
The Curious and Varied DISCUSSES
of NihiIist EmiSsarieS.

The Odessa correspondent of the
Daily News writes: A case trauSpired
here the other day which reveals i'll a
curious manner the successful rules
adopted by the nihilists for the spread
of their revolutionary literature. An
apparently half-demented and harmless
person, a young man of some twenty
five years of age and very poOly clad,
has for some time past picked up a pre-
cariOuS livelihood as peripatetic ven
dor of almanacS, calendars. children S
story books, etc. All these articles
were of the cheap, popular quality. His
basket and wallet contained also the
snowy prints of religious subjects, much
affected by the poorer classes. A few
days ago he was detected in the sale of
nihilist literature. He was ar
rested and his stock cOnfScated. His
character of a poor imbecile, supported
by the evidence of the police, and his
story of acquiring the forbidden litera-
ture at trifling cost from an unknown
stranger, and his general incoherence
and inability to read or write, were so
evident to the bench that he was at once
discharged. A couple of days later it
was found that the imbecile colpOrteur's
passport was false, and the police dis
covering that he was known to certain
citizens as appearing on many occasions
in private circles as well-dreSsed, we'll
educated and highly-infOrmed young
man who spoke learnedly on matters of
internal policy. warrant was immedi-
ately issued for his rearrest. 1t is need
less to say that he has not been found,
nor is he likely to be. The characters
and DISCUSSES assumed by many of these
young propagandists defy the utmost
vigilance of the regular and secret po-
lice, and successfully deceive, as in this
case, both magistrates and the so-called
lynx-eyedRussian judges of instruction.

ISlamite God. The gods they worship
are numberlesS almost as the blades of
grass in meadow. The HindooS have
invested many things with the order of
Sanctity. The trees are sacred: rivers
mountains. birds and animals are OBJ
ectS of worship and venerati0n.
One of the most sacred objects to the
HindOo mind is the river GangeS,
Mother Gunga," who wings life to
them from the far off SnOwfieldS of the
Himalayas, in the form of water to nour-
ish their crops. | once overlook a
wretched devotee crawling along the
Grand Trunk road on his stomach to
BenareS. BY way of penance for his
sin he was making his way in this pain
full manner day after day and week after
week, literally twirling along like a
snake. He was then about 100 miles
from his destination, and not imprOb-
ably had already come other hundreds.
Arriving in due course of time at Ben
ares he would wash his sins away by
making offerings to one or more of the
ugly wooden monsters erected in the
sacred city representing the particular
God whom his beSetting sin had offended,
and by plunging head and heels in the
GangeS.
The natives of Bengal seemed to me
to fall down and worship almost any
thing that contributed to their animal
comforts. There is something gro
tesquely practical in paying ones de-
votion to a bowl of rice or jar of
arrack, and yet this is what the bland
and worshipful Bengal villager does
every day in the year.
The worship of John Chinaman is so
mixed up with superstition and with
heatheniSh rites and ceremOnials for
the Precipitation of evil spirits that it
would take good sized volume to give
any adequate idea of it at all. joss
sticks, lighted paper, firecrackerS and
all sorts of uncanny things are en-
ployed to protect the Celestial from the
myriads of evil spirits inhabiting earth,
air and water. and which are ever ready
to pounce out and do him harm. The
Japs-well the Japs seemed to me conf
cal even at their devOtions. The gentle
followers of Buddhism and ShintOiSm
seemed to me like happy children play
ing at being religious, just as they
seemed to be playing at keeping shop,
playing at being farmers, artisans,
priests and observation-disclosures Stevens

The Prince OF Wales Heir.

In everything except the indispensa-
bic tawny beard that falls like roll of
cad gold silk to the extremity of a
massive chest. Prince Albert Victor. the
eldest son of the Prince of Wales, mod
els himself OH Ouida'S heroes. He is as
fond of knicknackS as a lady. His pri-
vate apartments are the nearest APP
proach to the talented but vulgar au-
thOreSS' ideal of young guardsman'
rooms. He would not brush his hair
otherwise than with an ivOry'backed
brush to save his life; eau de cologne
and other perfumes have their place in
his bath. To write note on paper that
was not the triumph of the perfumer's
art would, in his own imagination, be
unworthy of his tastes and position.
He has started in life in fact as an eX-
quiSite of the George ~. type; but
luckily for himself and for the nation
he is preserved from some of the most
Objectionable traits of the First GEN
tleman'S'' character by the sensitive
hyness of his disposition.
He differs again from most eXqulSiteS
in having praisewOrthy desire to pay
promptly for the luXurieS i'll which he
INDUCES. Indeed, he worries his at

of England upon their books within de-
cent limits-delay i'll delivering their

dignitied multi is Il frock coat and Law

wears a cutaway coat, and even when
riding hardly ever appears in a suit OF

scribed as very stately and solemn

THE DANCING DERvIsHEs.

or two figures in a room, whirling
silently round like spinning human
tops, their eyes firmly fixed on vacancy,
their arms Outstretched and their skirts
forming rings around them as they re-
Volve. l once timed one of these dane
ing dervishes, and found out that he
could spin rapidly around for good
half hour without getting in the least
bit dizzy. And from long practice he
could spin at least twice as rapidly as
an ordinary mortal.
The bowling dervishes usually range
themselves in row around their room,
and yield themselves up to spaSmOdic
jerkings and violent muscular exercises,
meanwhile shouting at every jerk and
twist: "Allah-il-Allah! Allah Akbarr'
The exercises of lung and muscle are

IN CHURCH.

She's the dearest little lady,
And her eyes are deep and shady
As she kneels.
And her look of pure emotion
Shows how true is the devotion
That she feels.
She Is plump, and oh, so prettyI
With her no one in the city
Can compare.
OF her charms must make mention,
Her sweet eyes are like the gentian,
Blue and rare.
She has hair of richest tinting,
Softest brown, with gold CLEANS glinting
Here and there.
On her cheek hue reposes
Like the hearts of blushing roses,
Yet more fair.

All her charms.
So sit and lose the preaching,
Only thinking now Of reaching
Her soft arms.

Light on the Texas "0utrages."

Ex-Gov. John Ireland, of Texas, was
before the Texas "outrages" lnvestigat-
ing committee of the Senate, Feb. 23.
He testified that there was a large
negro element in Washington county,
and that since the passage of the re.
construction laws there bad been more
or less disturbance in the county. The
county revenues had been wasted and
stolen up to the last two or three years.
The methods resorted to by those il
authority, witness said, finally became
so revolving to the better portion of the
Repr bllcan Parry that a Peoples party
was formed. He knew through the
newspapers and current rumors of the
raiding of one of the ballot t-boxes, TIE
killing of Bolton aud the lynching of
the three negroes, but knew nothing
personally of specific local ats of vic.
lence. He declared the charge in the
memorial to the Senate that he, as the
Chief Executive, has refused to protect
the memoralists, was untrue. He had
never been asked or requested to pro-
tect them. The negroes of Texas, he
said, were of docile, confiding nature,
and perfectly quiet when left to them
selves. They were easily excited,
however, when harangued by those
whom they looked upon as their lead
eH.
1t was unsafe for a negro in the
negro districts to openly espouse or
vote the Democratic ticket The
negroes were not interfered with by the
Democrats, and were allowed to vote
as they pleased and do as they pleased
so long as they left society alone. The
purpose of the white leaders of the
negroes was generally that of crea,il. g
a political following and playing the
role of political martyrs, so as to pr
cure office or recognition. They told
the negroes Cleveland's administration
was responsible for the earthquakes,
the drought, and the fact that cotton
brought but seven cents per pound.
Judge Rector, Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee of Texas,
called witnesses attention to the lynch
Ing OF the three negroes, at the same
time declaring he did not believe any
good would come out OF it. Judge
Rector said the Offering of a reward,
however, would stop the Republican
party in the North from preaching
against the South.

IT Is WONDERFUL


how easily rheumatism begins, and how
insidiously it grows in the system, until
one is startled to find himself its victim
in either the acute or chronic form. lie
then learns the fearful tenacity of its
grip and the utter powerlessness Of the
ordinary remedies to give relief.
Probably TO no disease have physicians
given more study, and none has more
completely baffled their efforts to provide
a specific; and until Athlophoros was dis
covered there was no medicine which
would surely cure rheumatism, neuralgia
and nervous or sick headache. Thousands
of testimonials like the following prove
beyond question that Athlophoros is the
only reliable remedy, and that it will do
all that is claimed for it.
